About Karen Kurtak, LAc, Dipl Ac

Karen Kurtak practices acupuncture and herbal medicine at the Frontier Medical Institute. While studying environmental biology and biochemistry during her undergraduate years at Western State College in Colorado, Karen developed a strong appreciation for the link between environmental contaminants and chronic illness. She subsequently pursued her interest by studying factors that influence long-term health and nutritional medicine with Terry Grossman, M.D. at the Frontier Medical Institute. This experience inspired her to become trained in traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture and utilizing herbs to treat the body's ailments.

Karen feels that there is a great deal of wisdom and knowledge yet to be validated in this ancient medicine. She is passionate about herbal medicine and has focuses on bridging the gap between Eastern and Western Medicines. This is apparent in her writings in The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Living Forever by Terry Grossman M.D., in which she was a co-author.
